It's almost time for the baseball season to begin. I don't know about you but I'm excited. Luckily we have all these great Showdown cards to keep everyone going on the off days. I know we have great content coming up this Spring training and through out the year so keep tuned. Me and my league are doing our 1 day drinking tournaments as well as getting prepped for our 16 man league with the 2018 set once its fully released. In the meantime how are we to fill our nights??
Well I for one am going to try to fill them with a plethora of baseball movies. I have put together a big list of baseball movies to get us through this down time through pitchers and catchers reporting and spring training. I will also be reviewing the movies on Twitter @BobBumbarger. You can let me know your thoughts on these as well or any movies I may have missed that aren't on the list. I will start on 2/7/19.
Lets start off with the spring training list to get you warmed up:

Now that you have watched that and got your history lesson its time for the main event. The list is in no particular order, I just put them into a list for me and the family to watch,
